Abstract:
We report three cases of Mirizzi syndrome diagnosed by MR imaging. MR cholangiography revealed dilation of the intrahepatic bile ducts, narrowing of the common hepatic duct, the level of obstruction, and the location of gallstone in the cystic duct. MR showed thickening of the gallbladder wall and the pattern of wall enhancement. MR evaluation with MR cholangiography sequences proved to be useful in these patients with Mirizzi syndrome.
